3M Confined Space Entrant and Attendant | In-Person

Confined spaces can be an extremely dangerous work environment and the utmost of care and caution needs to be taken before anyone considers entering or working near a confined space. Identifying, understanding, and controlling the hazards provide workers with the ability to safely perform their duties within, or when monitoring these environments.

This one-day course will address basic principles and concepts of confined space safety and examine the roles of the attendant and entrant in the process. A variety of instructional techniques, including challenge questions, workbook exercises, case studies, and practical learning applications, will be used to educate course participants.

The course is suited for those who would be tasked to serve as the attendant while workers are in the space, or would be the worker entering a confined space at the worksite. The course material will provide students with an engaging and enjoyable learning environment.
